1302 Ethnographic Research

An extended research project in which students conduct an ethnographic study in search of literacies within a community and consider how those literacies function for that community.


Semester Research Question
What literacies exist within this community and how do they specifically function for that community?




Through a combination of academic and primary field research students will analyze and construct their own specific answer to the semester research question above, and also develop and answer their own research questions specific to their individual projects.

CLASS UPDATES:

Mandatory Proposal Conference Thursday 2/11
Students must come to my office, HL 115, to meet with me during the time frame I have them signed up for so we will discuss individual community proposals and I can officially approve a community for research. While you wait for your turn during your time frame wait next to the door so I can call you in (if you wait near the Spanish tutor’s door I will not know you are there). This conference will be for a grade. Students who miss their time will receive zeroes and will still need to have a community approved by me before submitting WA2. However, late students will not be allowed to have their conferences during another time frame. Show up on time.

Students are welcome to meet with me anytime during my office hours on Tuesday (2/9) or Thursday (2/11) morning (9:00am-11:00am) to do their proposal conference early.
